No. Perhaps I chose my earlier words badly. The difference is slightly
subtle.

-s tells GPSBabel to ignore whatever shortname it was given and try to
make a better one from a longer name. For example, for geocaches it
throws out the GC1234 and favors "WeSheildMillions".

-Sn tries to make a naming decision based on the source material.
Currently the only place it makes a difference is in the Garmin writer:
if we're reading geocaching input, we'll pick the name with "V" for
virtual" and so on.



I had a feeling this was going to be hard to explain, so if the doc
missed somethign, call it out...
